Follow up with the Surgeon

Haven't been "on" for a couple of days, not much happening, Today however, Marline saw the "cut" guy. He was very happy with himself, as were we. He pulled the drain out of her side...(painless), snipped each and every staple out of the incision (about 25) and told her he would see her in about 10 to 12 months. He said "the margins were clean" and the lymph nodes were clear" and the incision was healing very nicely, although the tumor was a pretty good size one 5+cm no dietary restriction, no travel restrictions, do anything you can and want to do.


She will be assigned an oncologist in a week or so, who will determine any further treatment that she may need. Couldn't have been a better day, (btw this is 51st anniversary of giving birth to her first child...Barry)
